[QUOTE="FrankNmac, post: 3501182, member: 41074"] I was 16 or 17 and living in Lawton. I got off work Friday evening about 11 p.m. (had a football team come in just before we closed at 9 and I had to hang around to clean the tables) from my job at Underwood's BBQ and drove to where my girlfriend was at her sister and her husband's house. I parked my Ford truck with a camper shell on it on the residential street by their driveway. As I was getting ready to get out I saw multiple police cars with flashing police lights flying up behind me. One police car came around me to block me from moving forward. One of the officers in a car behind me called out over his bullhorn to turn off the truck and roll down the window. He told me to put both hands out the driver's window (door opened to the street side) so he could see them. He then told me to open the door from the outside keeping both hands where he could see them. He then told me to step out and to put both hands on top of my head and walk slowly toward him. As I got to the back of my truck (camper shell blocked my sight to my left) I was startled to see a policeman with a drawn pistol standing there pointing it at me! Thank God I didn't jump or react, but just kept walking. When I got to the car the police let me put my hands down to my sides and asked why I was at the house, where I came from (I think the BBQ smell still on my clothes helped my alibi!), wanted to see my ID, etc. They said the reason they were so cautious was they had received a silent burglary alarm from the closed bank located a couple of houses away from where I was going and someone said they saw a young white male with a gun in the area around the bank. I told them they scared the dova out of me They apologized for having guns out but they were trying to be very careful and that I fit the description. They even shook hands with me and told me to have a good evening and to be careful. Also said if we saw anyone of the suspect's description to call the police. After it was all over I couldn't help but think about how just a normal reaction like jumping or dropping my hands or any other reaction to seeing someone standing at the back of my truck, and even more with a gun pointed at me, could have resulted in me getting shot. Why didn't my gf and others come out to see what was going on? Well, this was a long time and lifestyle ago and when they saw police cars and lights and heard the bullhorn the last thing they were going to do was open the front door to the house! Made for quite a story for a while, but was glad I was still around (and still am) to tell it. [/QUOTE]
